Recently it looked like the library in Troy, Michigan was going to have to close. There wasn’t enough money to keep it running.

It was going to require a tax increase for the library open. This brought the Tea Party out in droves. The teahadis hate taxes, and they hate a widely read citizenry even more. Their campaign made it look like the library would be closed.

Then the supporters of the library did something absolutely brilliant. They started an agitprop campaign that fired up everyone. The tax increase passed and the library stayed open.

Well done, people. Well done!
